Had a great time riding around the trails in the Gamma Goat. My newly designed camp set up worked well for me with the CUCV.

It's not my truck, so I am unable to answer your question.

Here is a nice rig.

Great work! Just because it may look good doesn't mean it is. Now is the time to check and correct every connection.

Looking good.

Noise suppressor, delete it if you want. Otherwise it may become an issue later.

Moved to proper forum.

Good detective work John. As you have found, the most important part of a high current electrical connection is the part that you don't normally see. That bad connection has been going on for awhile. Now is a good time for a preventative maintenance check up on all the battery and related...

I plan on arriving Friday morning. Bringing the CUCV Comms truck.

Welcome to the site. There are a few threads in the Trailer forum on converting a trailer to a camper type vehicle.

Put it together with screws. Test fit, then adjust as needed.

Pictures of the dunnage and shelter shackles. The front and rear of the dunnage keep the shelter from moving fore and aft. I have my shelter shifted to the left side of the truck slightly to offset a weight imbalance, there is more equipment on the right side than the left.

Yes, I used chains on all four corners. The chains are for mounting antenna brackets to monopoles and the turnbuckles are for tower guy wires. As for the four smaller shackles, I do not believe that they are used to secure or lift the shelter. We used them in the Air Guard to drag the shelters...

You can order a good replacement relay from here: GP Relay Source

TM schematic is incorrect. The color one here is correct. All of the Orange wires go on the output side (glow plug) of the GP relay. None of the Orange wires go on the resistor side.

Now you can go make the cupcakes.

Thanks for the update.

Sounds like the passenger side alternator is no longer an isolated ground unit. Looking at the schematic, if the passenger side negative terminal is ground, it is possible to have the results you have described. Ensure that the suppressor on the alternator has not shorted to ground either...

Took a ride to see CUCVRUS, we finally had a chance to meet in person and chat about a lot of things. Conversations were great and we had an enjoyable time looking at his projects and parts inventory. His work quality is superior! Rick has a plethora of CUCV parts and is very reasonable with...
